an apology and a wish

First off, I'd like to wish a very very happy birthday to these beautiful women: malisita, ragingpixie, kita0610. Two of the people I love most in this world, and a woman I admire very much. I hope your day is full of laughter, good food, celebrations with people you care about, and HOT ACTION. Whichever order you prefer.

Secondly, I'd like to apologize for using the second half of this post as a bile pit, because I am really angry right now and I'd like to think it's me overreacting, but this all goes back to those anonymous memes - that act of a secret glance and perceptions - how a little thing can escalate into recriminations, accusations, and general inanity. While I'm not talking about Janet's choice of nipple coverage (after all, a boob is 'running' the country so why are we so shocked and outraged about something we all have....unless we're talking about certain personal freedoms and rights and wow, my hate level just went up another notch...)

( I am not a nice person and other truths )

And with that, I'm making a blanket LJ amnesty unfriending week. If you don't read my LJ anymore and you have me friended out of obligation, please feel free to remove me from your list. I'm not going to take it personally (as I seem to have used up my quota of 'taking things personally' in this one post alone) and I sincerely hope that for whatever reason you had me friended before, that I entertained you, a little bit. And if two people in particular unfriend me, I totally understand, and it's cool.

I feel mildly better now.
